Editor's Note

A magical board game serves as a door to another dimension in this adventure fantasy based on Chris Van Allsburg's award-winning children's book. When a pair of orphans discover the game and start playing it they unwittingly unleash a man (Robin Williams) who's been trapped inside--as well as an array of stampeding jungle animals, brought vividly to the screen courtesy of ILM's computer-generated special effects. Directed by Joe Johnston (THE ROCKETEER, JURASSIC PARK III.)

ReelViews 8 of 10Stuart Little 2 may be the best family movie of the 2002 summer film-going season. There's a simple reason for this - the picture seems to have been put together with the recognition that some members of the audience may be above the age of ten. Thus, there's material in this film that can be appreciated by adults without losing the children along the way. And, unlike most sequels these days, this one appears to have a reason for existing beyond the obvious (the original made money). Stuart Little 2 works, even for those who didn't see the first Stuart Little...The sterling nature of the special effects will have kids thinking Stuart and Margalo are real. Indeed, the computer animators went to great lengths to put a lot of the real actions of mice and birds into the way the characters look and act. Meanwhile, the humans are unreal, taking everything in with a cheerful seriousness that pokes gentle fun at old TV programs like "Father Knows Best" and "My Three Sons". And no one thinks its odd that George's little brother is actually a mouse. Watching the blase reactions of everyone to a talking mouse is worth a smile and a chuckle, but that's only one of many reasons to see, and enjoy, Stuart Little 2. - James Berardinelli
